Hi I am a rising sophomore at a target. Having spent the entire freshman spring looking and finally attaining a PE internship for this summer(2018), I have begun work only to realize I missed out on summer 2019 I-banking recruiting. What am I supposed to do now if my goal is an investment banking internship next summer? What firms still have positions open? Any help would be appreciated. Also, did I somehow start late? (I was a freshman wth)

I am in a similar position, rising sophomore at a semi-target with a PE internship this summer. From what I have attained on this website, the IB internships that have already finished their recruiting for summer 2019 are not open to rising juniors whatsoever unless you are a diversity candidate. The internships for rising junior diversity candidates are not done recruiting yet from what I understand if that applies to you. This summer I have been networking with boutique banks and most of them have not started their recruiting yet for next summer. I think those internships are the best opportunities sophomores are going to get for the most part. Like I said, I am in the same position as you, so I am not speaking from experience, but that is my understanding
Summer 2019 IB recruiting is for rising juniors - i.e. C/O 2020. Your recruiting for IB summer spots won't begin until the spring of your sophomore year most likely. Don't freak out. You don't need an IB internship next summer, you'll need one for summer 2020 (if you graduate in 2021). You haven't missed anything.
